Busy Ben has meant a lull in posts here but a continuation over at the blog so I'll give what they were to be used for then throw a few more pics at you.

Those dolls were to be part of a beauuuuutiful stage show that my protagonist was forced to go to that then followed him out onto the streets but it all got a bit ridiculous and an entourage woulda spoiled the Dantean two wanderers feel. So there. Nuh.

Me for a bit, 200 year old drinking songs, books for sale and then more signings and Christmassings.Then, of course, booze and decrepitude for me as I fall into a I've-been-bought-too-many-wonderful-drinks coma.
